Apparatus for slicing vegetable or fruit

Abstract

A fruit/vegetable slicer for slicing the food stuff, wherein it comprises: a stand suitable to be installed at the bottom to support the upper composite parts, comprising a rotational crank, a movable blade frame and a housing, wherein a food stuff pressing plate is inserted in the through hole of the housing. In order to slice the fruits and vegetables, firstly the food stuff pressing plate is taken out and the food stuff is put into the housing through hole, the food stuff is constantly being pressed down and the rotational crank is continually being rotated, when the rotational crank rotates clockwise, the movable blade frame reciprocatingly moves laterally such that the food being pressed stuff is sliced. The fruit/vegetable slicer can be operated very easily, and the pressed food stuff can be sliced by merely rotating the rotational crank clockwise and slightly pressing the food stuff pressing plate. Thus the fruits and vegetables can be sliced steadily, swiftly and conveniently, without the user's being in immediate contact with the blade or causing any unnecessary danger.

1 . A fruit/vegetable slicer for slicing the food stuff, characterized in that it comprises: 
 a stand disposed at the bottom;    a rotational crank rotatably installed on an end of the top of the stand, wherein said rotational crank comprises an eccentric cylindrical push rod and a handle;    a movable blade frame slidably installed on the stand, wherein said movable blade frame has a plurality of blades, and the end of the movable blade frame is operably connected with the rotational crank, and when the rotational crank rotates, the movable blade frame is reciprocatingly moved;    a housing fixed on the upper portion of the stand, wherein the housing has a through hole for putting the food stuff to be sliced from the above; and    a food stuff pressing plate inserted in the through hole of the housing.    
   
   
       2 . The fruit/vegetable slicer of  claim 1 , characterized in that there are two rectangular groove-shaped lower wheel shaft tracks respectively disposed at the front and the back on either side of said stand, and a plastic shaft support in the shape of a quarter-circle extends from the end of the top of the stand, a half-circle shaped lower rotational crank shaft groove is disposed respectively on both sides of the plastic shaft support, and there is a rectangular slidable lockhole disposed at the end of the plastic shaft support, and a cuboid slidable lock is mounted at the center of the lockhole.  
   
   
       3 . The fruit/vegetable slicer, characterized in that a cylindrical push rod body is disposed at the central part of the eccentric cylindrical push rod of the rotational crank, and push rod shafts are disposed on the two side portions at the axes of the rotational crank, and the two shafts are joined together through a long plastic block and are located at different axes.  
   
   
       4 . The fruit/vegetable slicer of  claim 1 , characterized in that said blade frame has a rectangular blade frame body and a reverse U-shaped fork, a rectangular plastic frame is disposed on the exterior of said blade frame body, and two circular rolling wheels are disposed respectively at the front and the back on both sides of the plastic frame, and the plurality of blades at the central part of the plastic frame are toothed blades.  
   
   
       5 . The fruit/vegetable slicer of  claim 1 , characterized in that said housing is rectangular in shape, and it can be complementarily engaged with the surface of said stand, and a big square through hole of the housing is disposed at the center thereof, and the front and back edges at its bottom are both wavy edges, meanwhile, two in-hole projection tracks are disposed at the central positions on both sides, and at the central positions of the surface of the housing, there is a depressed housing pressing plate engaging recessed stripe disposed respectively on both the left and the right sides, and two rectangular groove-shaped upper wheel shaft tracks are disposed respectively at the front and the back on both sides of the housing, in addition, a quarter circle shaped mechanism extends likewise from its end, on both sides of which there is disposed an upper rotational crank shaft groove in the shape of a half circle groove, and at the end of the quarter-circle shaped mechanism there is a protruding barb of the slidable lock.  
   
   
       6 . The fruit/vegetable slicer of  claim 1 , characterized in that said food stuff pressing plate has a square shape which is complementary with the through hole of said housing, while at the central positions of the surface of the housing, there is a depressed housing pressing plate engaging recessed stripe disposed respectively on both the left and the right sides, and an array of reverse V-shaped plastic pieces are disposed at its bottom, meanwhile, a depressed pressing plate recessed track is disposed at the central positions on both sides of the array of the drooping reverse V-shaped plastic pieces.
